Public Transport-Kuching City.

Kuching is considered a non-active city at night, therefore public transportion after 7 pm may be limited to certain locations within Kuching or outside. Taxis are available 24 hours but also limited to those who used to travel at night and have a place to book for oncall taxi or rent a car at reasonable rate. Since all tourist spots in Kuching area is located quite far from one to another, therefore rent a car for convenience, you'll be able to visit more places. Unlike Kuala Lumpur City, Kuching serves without Train, no LRT, no commuter except for Bus/Water taxis (Sampan).

My experience..If you want to go to Semenggok Wildlife Centre to meet Ritchie and family the Urang Utan.Go early in the morning take bus number K6.Don't take on noon e.g 13:30pm bus from Kuching because you might miss the return bus you go at noon returning is difficult .Go at 07:00am and are just in time to see Ritchie and friends 'The Urang Utan' feeding time that is at 09:00 am everyday.Spend few hours there and return by bus at noon is easier, but not after 04:00pm it might be difficult.

** Ritchie is the oldest urang utan at the wildlife centre in Semenggok.

Feral or Stray Cats.

When people talk about how to get rid of a stray cat, they are usually referring to a feral cat. There is a difference. Stray cats are domesticated cats that were abandoned or separated from their owners. Feral cats are cats born in the streets, have never had a home, and have reverted to their wild roots.

You cannot differentiate the two from their appearance, as they generally look the same. However, you can discern the wild ones from the domesticated ones by their behavior.

Stray cats are more approachable; they are more trusting and typically remain calm when approached by humans. Feral cats run away when they see a human approaching and hiss and claw when threatened.  Do not try to catch a feral cat on your own. They can be dangerous. Call the animal control or rescue shelter and let the professionals to the hunting.

Keep in mind that whether or not a cat is a stray, there is never a reason to hurt or kill them.
